Latin American Studies is Newest Minor

Plans to add a Latin American Studies minor at Viterbo have been announced, thanks to a $155,000 Title VI ­Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign ­Languages Grant from the U.S. Department of Education awarded in June.

Creating the minor is a two-year project. Bobbie Wilson, grants coordinator, led the effort, working with the project committee of faculty members Maribel Bird, Michael Smuksta, Vicente Guillot, dean Mary ­Hassinger, and director of global education Beth Moore.
